Tech Transitions & Data Privacy - 2022 Report
While we were hopeful at the beginning of 2021 that the worst of the 2020 global pandemic was behind us, this did not prove to be the case. The changes in our working environments, education, shopping and so many more areas of our lives were transformed in 2020. As we predicted, that evolution continued throughout 2021.

As Polsinelli’s Technology Transactions and Data Privacy Group looks forward to 2022, our industry continues to see explosive growth in technology transactions, data privacy counseling and incident response areas. The increased value and focus on data assets, content distribution, privacy and machine learning will accelerate this year. We anticipate 2022 will have changes in the cyber security insurance market, fallout from last year’s exponential growth in ransomware incidents and increased regulatory and contractual attention on vendor management and data security issues
